Hi,
I have a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, in which I am having problems with. First things first, I was driving my car over to my girlfriends house with no problems. Then however when i went to leave I tried too start my car however it wouldn't start.
It cranked but just would not turn over..all i get is the sound of wanting to start but never does. I checked my spark plugs,vacuum lines,I have fuel and car is not flooded. What it came down too was i figured fuel pump. So i sprayed Ether in the intake and car started up..at first ran like shit but then started to idle normal...Then a minute later it shut off...Again sounds like fuel pump.
So i had it towed to my mechanic's shop however he mostly works on German cars but has an idea on what it is. What it all comes down too is this, My coil packs are not sending out spark, So we figure the CAS(Crank Angle Sensor) or the ECU. He hooked up 4 different computers to see if any codes..wouldnt connect so an ECU problem? However I put my ECU in his car but wouldn't start..So i know i have a bad ECU. Now second i put his ECU in my car but it still wouldn't start..So i am thinking two things broke on my car at once.
I was wondering if anyone out there could help with this puzzle. Like i said ECU is friend i suppose, I am checking the Fuel filter tomorrow and maybe it is the CAS or something completely different. It was weird because his ECU did not even work on my car..I thought maybe because it was programmed just for his car? I dunno. Any help would be much appreciated!
